Even-though we spent more years apart then we had together. You were always in my heart, as the one of the peoples that taught me the love of music and singing.
Dale will certainly be missed by many ! When we were young teenagers in Indy he took my part against a gang in our neighborhood. He told me I didn’t have to worry about them anymore, —They never bothered me again after that ! He was a good cousin !!!
